Tuesday, July 1

Vitality is higher, and we can be more productive. A long full day offering diverse schedules and options for business, connection, intimacy, and for independent activities like healing or inner work.

This morning, Moon in productive Virgo is infused with the entrepreneurial numerology of 1, a great combination for practical progress. Our energy, focus, and organizational sense are activated. Moon trines sweet Venus at 7:43 am (10:43 ET), bringing joy to our simple tasks and facilitating pleasant, opportune connections in diverse areas.

Use the hours productively until 1:47 pm (4:47 ET), when Moon makes a brief VOC. Take a time out (Virgo enjoys cleaning and straightening) until 2:16 pm (5:16 ET), when Luna enters socially dexterous, creative Libra, positively energized by today’s numerology of 1. For the next few hours, our time is well spent on something involving justice, compromise, negotiation, our bank statement, teamwork, or PR.

At 5:54 pm (8:54 ET), we should plan for another time out. The charm fades and emotional intelligence freezes over as Moon opposes strict Saturn. We may feel insecure and demanding of ourselves and others. We can best focus on independent activities like decluttering, organizing a drawer or closet and taking stock of limits we can set in our home or with close connections.

At 6:34 pm (9:34 ET), Moon opposes Neptune, accenting intuition, although with Neptune in Aries, we may feel overstimulated. Creativity is fueled and we can direct it in a project, decorate our space, or work on visualization. Avoid arguments and save potentially irritating interchanges for another day.

At 8:27 pm (11:27 ET), Moon trines strong Pluto, injecting us with boldness. Resume earlier activities favored by this placement (justice, compromise, negotiation, bank statement, teamwork, or PR), or share a romantic, lustful evening.

Affirmation:
I love myself, and I give time to my diverse priorities, now and always.

Wednesday, July 2

The best time for action is morning, especially favoring connections that support our own authentic direction.

Early morning is good for connection, with Moon in sociable Libra, today’s cozy numerology of 2, and an early sextile from Moon to Mercury the messenger. Ruler Venus is close to perfecting her conjunction to rebel Uranus, spotlighting contacts that fuel ideals, authenticity and new directions. We might have breakfast with a flame or with friends, meet with like souls, make love with a new partner, contact a financial consultant, or reach out to clients and offer them a new product line or direction.

However you choose to apply these influences, do it early, since at 12:30 pm (3:30 ET), Moon reaches her Second Quarter, beginning a long VOC. Afternoon and evening are good for tranquil reflection on the intentions we seeded at last week’s New Moon, and to walk among flowers, enjoy socializing or art, watch a romantic movie and read fiction.

At 11-12 Libra, the Sabian symbol for today’s lunation says:

MINERS ARE SURFACING FROM A DEEP COAL MINE… The need to carry on at ever-deeper levels the quest for knowledge which keeps burning the fires of the collective mind of a society… The search for knowledge demands the dedication of many minds digging ever deeper into the realities of our earthly existence. It is a hard, often dark pursuit amidst great difficulties and the possibility of being spiritually asphyxiated by the constant intellectual effort and tension. When a person is confronted by this symbol it could be interpreted as showing the need for such an intellectual dedication but also as pointing to the advisability of emerging from it and leading a more natural life… the coal miner brings to the surface the ancient remains of what once was living substance. Keyword: EXTRACTION.

Affirmation:
I breathe in the divine atmosphere and as I breath out, I release loads and worries to the field of infinite good that surrounds me and supports me in every situation, now and always.

Thursday, July 3

Begin the holiday early, do dreamwork, enjoy connections.

Moon will be VOC in Libra, all day! Things may not go as planned, so key actions and connections are best left for tomorrow afternoon or the weekend. However, the energies of benefic Venus are strong, and we can make time for joy. Share it with easygoing connections, go to a park or a special garden, soak up beauty, take in a romantic film or read fiction.

Also, mystical Neptune stations to retrograde. Intuitive truth comes to light. We can contact angels, journal about our dreams, and work on forgiveness or something involving compassion.

Affirmation:
I give thanks for the love that radiates from me and to me, and my gratitude expands the radiation, here and now.

Friday, July 4

We gain clarity for new directions in many areas, and find the courage to act.

At 3:33 am (5:33 ET), Moon finally ends her long VOC and enters powerful Scorpio. One minute later, psychic Neptune stations moves retrograde, triggering a portal to the beyond. This station combines with the deep Scorpio Moon to facilitate intuitive understanding, and to embolden us to act on it.

Another force for change is triggered as Venus, planet of love and values, conjoins surprising Uranus, shaking us out of a rut and opening a door for renovation in finance and relationships. The goddess planet is poised to sextile Saturn and Neptune, an ominous aspect that’s been making things seem unpredictable lately. This sextile indicates that today’s new energy can be constructively applied to building bridges and opening a path that leads us out of the swamp.

At 7:31 am (10:31 ET), Venus enters Gemini, bringing pleasure from study and mental interaction. Morning may feel stressful but it’s actually a very useful portal for brave action. At 8:40 am (11:40 ET), Moon squares ruler Pluto. Although it can be confrontational, this aspect is great for uncovering hidden information, seeing beyond the surface, facing what needs changing, and finding the nerve to do it.

We can apply this in research, to study our DNA or family tree, to journal, or—with today’s practical numerology of 4—to take courageous action and set a limit, drop a draining project or situation, or dispose of clutter and belongings that, despite having passed their phase with us, are hard to release.

At 2:06 pm (5:06 ET), things start to flow more easily, thanks to a trine from Moon to expansive Jupiter that brings charm to emotional and social connections. We can have a transformative encounter, share empathy, convince people, promote something or work on emotional healing or other positive change.

Nighttime can be dynamic. At 9:29 pm (12:29 am ET), a square from Moon to mental Mercury stimulates intuitive perception. At 11:20 pm (2:20 am ET), Moon sextiles her coruler, brave Mars, bringing opportunities to sell, promote or direct something, or to connect with someone in a position to open our way.

Invocation:
Archangel Michael, please open my intuitive perception and move me to act on it, now and always.

Saturday, July 5

A potentially pivotal day for bold action and for connections that support lasting change.

Moon in powerful Scorpio stokes our nerve to take life-changing action, while todays numerology of 5 wants to try something new.

Venus is also game for change. Still in orb of her conjunction to rebel Uranus, the planet of love and values seeks to free us of old ways of relating and earning, and we are apt to receive surprises that can end up pointing to new, positive directions. The goddess planet’s biggest gift now is her support in directing our inner and outer actions in ways that capture the positive potential of recent challenges (indicated by her sextile to Saturn and Neptune, and her approaching trine to evolutionary Pluto!).

A morning trine from Moon to Sun puts us in confidence mode and aligns our emotions harmoniously with our purpose.

Save the ironing for another day, straighten rather than make the bed, call for takeout, don’t scroll, answer only vital calls and messages. Meditate, repeat mantras or prayers in a love vibration, and then USE THIS DAY TO ACTIVATE CONNECTIONS THAT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Affirmation:
My good cannot be withheld from me. Divine substance fills my world and takes shape as happy and positive connections, here and now.

Sunday, July 6

Harmony and prosperity flow, as we act boldly to connect with individuals and groups.

Today’s numerology of 6, ruled by Jupiter, puts us under a shield of protection as we use today’s energies to focus on connections. We can organize or attend a gathering or seminar, work on negotiation or something involving justice or connect with others to build our path.

For the first part of the day, Moon in strong Scorpio emboldens us to set limits, set aside distractions, and act on our priorities. With Mercury getting ready for retrograde, we can focus on a life-changing move or initiative we had set in motion sometime previously.

Venus perfects sextiles to Saturn-Neptune, and gets closer to trine with Pluto. Look at structures that have seem to be falling away and look for ways to integrate this shift into positive changes in finance and people connections. Then reach out.

At 3:02 pm (6:02 ET) Moon goes VOC. Two minutes later, Moon enters extroverted Sagittarius, reaffirming this morning’s Jupiterian energies, and also favoring promotional activities, trade, and media and music productions.

This evening, we can make practical headway, as at 6:54 pm (7:54 ET), Moon trines Saturn, planet of work, and at 7:26 pm (10:26 ET), Neptune, planet of dreams.

Starting at 8:00 pm (11:00 ET), when Moon opposes rebel Uranus, we’ll be feeling less cooperative. Emotions come to light and intuition is clarified. We can release the opinions of others and take time out to listen to our own authentic voice and apply it to journaling or creative work.

At 9:06 pm (12:06 am ET), we can again connect effectively. Moon sextiles Pluto. Contacts can be powerful—with others or with our inner self. It may be late for a visit or call, but we can send messages or emails, or write to someone’s angel.

Invocation:
Angels and spirit guides, please help me heed my higher self and connect with the best and highest people, now and always.

Monday, July 7

On this transformative day, our mental energy and passion are strengthened.

Today’s numerology of 7, ruled by Mercury and Uranus, fuels our smarts.

This is yet another pivotal day as innovative Uranus enters communicative Gemini. The rebel planet is close to completing an historical, minor grand trine to Pluto in Aquarius, which he rules, and to Saturn and Neptune in energetic Aries. With Uranus in Gemini, people will be fighting for free speech. With Saturn involved, we’ll be working personally with these transformative situations, whether we want to or not.

Venus—lady of love and money—lends her support to the process, as she perfects her trine to Pluto. We are feeling intense about these life areas, and our choices now can have long-reaching effects.

At 2:00 pm (5:00 ET), Moon trines Mercury, an influence we can use for about half an hour to broadcast or promote something, to be spontaneous, to work for negotiation or political change, or to inspire, motivate or teach. May we use it well, as at 2:29 pm (5:29 ET), Moon squares courageous Mars, accenting the independent nature of Moon in Sag, and emboldening us to: take action in a legal situation, borrow money, handle a difficult negotiation or look for answers in new places.

Affirmation:
Divine guidance finds its way into these situations, and succeeds in guiding us, here and now.

Tuesday, July 8

We can make tangible headway as we focus on trade, negotiation, promotion, motivation and teaching.

Today’s numerology of 8 supports consolidation of something we started previously.

Moon is VOC all day. In Sagittarius. Despite her condition, Luna is not only still beneficial, and with her fortunate energy unimpeded by aspects, can be even more so.

We’re on tomorrow’s Full Moon portal, enriching the numerological power of Number 8. Choose something you’ve been working for to expand and step forward to consolidate your gains.

Invocation:
Archangel Michael, please fill me with your courage and shield me with your blue light as you move me to act boldly, here and now.

Wednesday, July 9

On this day of power, we can transmute a challenge or close a cycle.

Moon enters Capricorn at 1:55 am (4:55 ET), poising to perfect her fullness.

This morning, Luna makes tense aspects to Uranus, Saturn and Neptune. We can apply Capricorn’s organizational skills and the numerology of 9, ruled by Pluto, to close a cycle, or to declutter our schedule, our spiritual notebooks, and our interactions. Today’s lunation packs a wallop. We can use its power to overcome a challenge of some sort—setting an overdue limit, transmuting a longstanding problem, or organizing an area of our life that’s become chaotic.

The most fortunate time of day starts at 12:54 pm (3:54 ET), when Moon connects with harmonious Venus, followed two hours later by her opposition to abundant Jupiter. Thanks to these beneficent influences, afternoon and evening are great for people connections with a Capricorn flavor. We can:

• Connect with an elder or parent
• Work on business
• Ask for a promotion, a raise or an authorization
• Entertain the boss
• Focus on a work project or team effort
• Apply for credit
• Patiently listen and learn
• Remodel or build something

Affirmation:
There is nothing to fear, I am divinely insured for safety, supply and restoration, now and always.

Thursday, July 10

This morning, we can use the Full Moon in Capricorn to consolidate something related to building or our goals

At 18-19 Capricorn, the Sabian symbol for this lunation describes:

A FIVE-YEAR-OLD CHILD CARRYING A BAG FILLED WITH GROCERIES… Rising to the occasion when asked to assume social responsibilities ahead of one’s normal development… This twentieth scene of the complete process has been entitled ‘Group performance,’ and today it is evident that children at an early age are expected to assume a family role which at times will strain their natural capacities. This is part of the accelerating pace of our technological society… the possibility of meeting a certain type of social opportunity which normally may seem premature. A pattern of ACCELERATED GROWTH… with both positive and negative aspects. Rushing ahead of one’s natural development may be damaging; yet we are living in a particularly dynamic period of [human] evolution.

The symbol is cryptically reminiscent of the warnings we’ve received to prepare for the current direction of geopolitics—from the stash of groceries, to the idea of being pushed to take responsibilities for which we may feel unprepared, to the connection of these responsibilities to “group performance.” We may now wish to take physical measures of preparedness, and also mental measures—preparing ourselves in consciousness to receive divine support, symbolized by the groceries.

The Capricorn Full Moon helps consolidate something related to security, strategy, structure. With ruler Saturn in conjunction to foggy Neptune, we may feel less clear than usual about our plans. The Sabian symbol seems to say: move on them anyway.

Morning through midday are the best times to act. Moon’s wee-hour trine to dynamic Mars gives us confidence to face things and take action.

Luna’s fullness is exact at 1:37 pm (4:37 ET), when she goes VOC for the rest of the day. After this, we can organize, visit an elder, read historical fiction, or take a stroll in the financial district or an area with historic buildings or an opulent atmosphere.

Affirmation:
I call on my angels and guides to assist me in building a divine structure for the next phase of my life, here and now.

Friday, July 11

Moon VOC remains in Capricorn until 10:21 am (1:21 ET), when it enters independent Aquarius.

Although Aquarius likes a party and to charm people’s clothes off, this afternoon’s transits trigger the potential of this placement for long-range change. These transits include two sextiles, to coruler Saturn at 1:55 (4:55 ET) and dreamy Neptune at 2:20 (5:20 ET). There are opportunities to use and direct these seemingly overwhelming evolutionary forces. We can:

• Break out of a rut
• Try something different
• Fight for a cause
• Invent something the world needs
• Break the rules
• Set a limit
• Close a cycle
• Quit a job

We are further empowered from 3:42 pm (6:42 ET), when Moon conjoining intense Pluto can summon the courage to act on our intentions for yesterday’s Full Moon and and for that matter, take on anything and anyone that goes against our ideals.

This transit is also great for research or inventing something useful. Be careful—it can bring out the intense side of Moon in Aquarius We can consciously avoid being fanatical or violent in our opinions.

Affirmation:
There is nothing for me to fear. The power with me and in me is greater than any power in the world, and it works to clear out apparent threats or limitations, here and now.

Saturday, July 12

Morning is great for socializing, afternoon for taking a break.

This morning, Moon in friendly Aquarius connects with Jupiter and Venus. The planet of love also rules today’s numerology of 3, lightening the atmosphere and favoring people connections. We might breakfast with friends, throw a surprise party or reach out to those who are close to our hearts, and ideals.

At 12:45 pm (3:45 ET), Moon goes VOC on a square to Mercury, triggering Aquarius’ solitary side. We can leave important connections and actions for another time and focus on the pleasure of reading, doing research, contacting a senator or working on something creative.

Late tonight, Moon’s coruler, structured Saturn, turns retrograde, accenting Moon’s studious tendencies and initiating a several-month period of review of plans, discipline, authority and what we’re really building, or fooling ourselves about.

Affirmation:
Infinite Intelligence directs me to build divine structures in my mind, life and world, here and now.

Sunday, July 13

This morning, we can socialize or put our activist and creative efforts in order. This evening, we can move on our dreams or spiritual interests.

Moon is VOC, and we can us her unchannelled high energy in Aquarius to enjoy friends, creativity or go to an art exhibit.

Save key actions and connections for after 4:45 pm (7:45 ET), when she enters dreamy Pisces. With ruler Neptune currently conjunct worker Saturn who is station retrograde, this influence can be extremely favorable for building our dreams and altruistic intentions, or for focus on spiritual progress.

At 5:15 pm (8:15 ET), Moon’s square to Uranus, planet of awakening, can precipitate intuitive insight. We might focus on channeling, spiritual healing and other independent actions.

Affirmation:
There is an invisible power of protection that works to shield all who need it, here and now.

Monday, July 14

Most of day is great for taking bold, innovative action and reaching out to people.

Today’s numerology of 5, ruled by assertive Mars, likes trying new things.

Moon in imaginative Pisces makes highly favorable aspects for people connections. A morning trine to coruler, charming, optimistic Jupiter increases our confidence and charisma. We can connect with the emotions of others and promote an idea, product, service or cause. Moon’s afternoon square to Venus brings sweetness, empathy, creativity and love… favoring personal, romantic and business connections.

Reach out, connect, share, promote, love and do business before 9:16 pm (12:16 am ET), when Moon opposes Mars in practical Virgo. Grandma Picky shows up with her scowl, ruining the party and sending us home to clean the refrigerator, tackle the oven, or do that bedtime healing treatment we sometimes forget.

Affirmation:
I move beyond my comfort zone, and the universe responds by opening new doors, here and now.

Tuesday, July 15

A good day for spirituality and healing, and for projects involving groups and imagination. We get a late window for effective action.

After last night’s opposition to Mars in Virgo, Moon might feel a bit neurotic this morning, although she can help us envision our goals for healing. After 10:10 am (1:10 pm ET), Moon in gentle Pisces trines Sun in sensitive Cancer, retrieving her grace and getting back in the flow.

Combined with today’s fortunate and socially adept numerology of 6, Luna’s placement in creative Pisces favors negotiation, projects requiring imagination, and gatherings for a spiritual, musical or altruistic purpose. We can connect with light beings, work on a production, and settle a dispute with dear ones or within ourselves.

Forgive, release and let go of the obsolete; at 9:32 pm (12:32 am ET) Moon enters restless Aries, putting us in action mode and bringing opportunities for sudden change as she sextiles Uranus at 10:11 pm (1:11 am ET). Act on a hunch to do something different, to share ideas, or to reach out to someone who can open a door.

Affirmation:
The angels of progress guide us and support us in success and evolution, now and always.

Wednesday, July 16

On this vibrant, energetic day, our actions can push things in a constructive direction.

Today’s numerology of 7 spotlights mental abilities—intellect, study and intuition.

Moon in go-getter Aries gives us the drive we need to use this last complete day before she reaches her fourth and final quarter, at which time she begins her week of wind-down. Early this morning, Luna makes wee-hour conjunctions to Saturn and Neptune, increasing the potential for breakthroughs as we focus on and act to finish something of lasting meaning.

At 12:02 she squares Jupiter, releasing a wave of confidence and enthusiasm, favoring promotion of a cause, product or service.

Late evening is great for people connections, PR, finance and romance, thanks to a sextile from Moon to sweet Venus at 9:44 pm (12:44 am ET).

Affirmation:
There can be no unfavorable events, because Spirit is present, transmuting all events into good ones for us and for all concerned, here and now.

Thursday, July 17

Focused follow-up on previous efforts reaps tangible fruits.

Today’s numerology of 8 supports success and consolidation of gains. On this last morning before Moon’s Fourth Quarter, we can push through perfectionism to finish something.

At 5:38 pm (8:38 ET), Moon reaches her Fourth Quarter, beginning the last week of her cycle, seven days to wind down and focus on rest and recharge. Rather than starting something new, we can finish what we started previously.

At 25-26 Aries, the Sabian symbol for this lunation describes:

A MAN POSSESSED OF MORE GIFTS THAN HE CAN HOLD… Obsession by potentiality… The mind which finds itself confronted with a totally unfamiliar and as yet unexperienced type of potency finds it difficult at first to adjust to its new world of perception and possibilities of action. He may rush ahead excitedly and lose his bearings. He should try to reach a state of calm watchfulness, and to learn that at this level too there are limits and restrictions, i.e. laws expressing this new type of “order.”… man at this evolutionary station has to move carefully… for his consciousness is not yet fully able to operate in it, except with closely defined limits. It is a symbol of WARNING — a warning against undertaking more than it is as yet safe and sound to attempt.

At 9:45 pm (12:45 ET), Mercury goes fully retrograde, although we’ve been in storm and shadow so far all month.

Affirmation:
Spirit is working through all I do, and Spirit cannot be stopped. I give thanks for the finished results that have appeared, are appearing and will appear, here and now.

Friday, July 18

At 12:59 am (3:59 ET), Moon enters Taurus, where she supports abundance, security, enjoying the good life, and manifesting things we want to last.

This isn’t your usual Taurus Moon. At 5:38 am (8:38 ET), she squares Pluto the transmuter, who also happens to rule today’s numerology of 9, making this morning good for change. It applies in the area of healing, decluttering, fasting, or making contact with Mother Earth as we release our problems to her.

Not that all is dark, gloomy or solitary. Also this morning, Mercury the messenger sextiles sweet Venus, and we can enjoy pleasant, harmonious communications.

However, outer actions and connections are best after 3:37 pm (6:37 ET), when Moon sextiles Jupiter in Cancer. Both are in their signs of exaltation, and this transit combines with the Mercury-Venus sextile, making for connections that are empathetic, comforting, sensual, sweet, harmonious, and profitable.

Invocation of the earth goddess (in her advocation as transmuter and healer—called in ancient Mexico, Tlazolteotl, “she who eats filth”):
Dear Mother of Transmuting Power, I lay upon you and ask that, as you receive and transmute all obsolete substances, may you please exert your magnetism to pull from me confusion, resentment, attachments, guilt and other heavy vibrations (name something you wish to release). (Pause to feel her magnetic pull as it removes undesirable energies and conditions.) Thank you, beloved Mother, for freeing me as you take these energies into your body to dissolve and transmute them, here and now.

(For more on Tlazolteotl, as well as other goddesses and their gifts, see my book, Angels and Goddesses, Manifest your desires with Angelic Intelligence. Llewellyn Worldwide, 2022.)

Saturday, July 19

Assertive action can generate prosperity and other forms of lasting good.

At 8:36 am (11:36 ET), Moon in abundant Taurus trines bold Mars. We have the energy and focus to go after that which makes life pleasant and secure, and to defend someone’s security. Mars also rules today’s numerology of 1, reiterating the call to bold action.

At 11:23 pm (2:43 am ET) Moon sextiles Sun. We can have a creative, warm or sexy encounter, or enjoy our own light and purpose.

Affirmation:
No situation or influence can keep God from acting with clarity and success for me and through me, here and now. Thank you, Mother-Father.

Sunday, July 20

A day for powerful connections and communications.

At 3:22 am (6:22 ET), Moon enters communicative Gemini, fusing with today’s companionable numerology of 2 to favor messaging, giving a presentation, managing a family crisis, expressing our ideas to colleagues, connecting with siblings or neighbors, playing table games.

Early this morning, Luna joins Uranus, activating our intuition and higher mind. Then, at 6:31 am (9:31 ET), she sextiles Saturn, followed by another sextile to Neptune at 6:53 am (9:53 ET). Saturn and Neptune have been dissolving familiar structures, and these sextiles from Moon in Gemini help us think, communicate, and connect in ways that direct this tendency positively, to build something new.

At 7:52 am (10:52 ET), Moon trines determined Pluto. Moon in Gemini isn’t always deep, but with this aspect, she will be receptive to and curious about secrets, shadows and other mysterious topics and research. Also, the trine emboldens us to cut out of our lives people and situations that are draining our minds and emotions.

Affirmation:
Nothing is hidden from Spirit, who knows what I need to see in this situation (project, relationship, etc.), and reveals it to me clearly, here and now.

Monday, July 21

We have some great hours for people connections from morning through early afternoon.

The day starts with a sextile from Moon in loquacious Gemini to ruler Mercury, triggering opportunities for communication and combining with today’s cheerful numerology of 3—ruled by Venus—to favor:

• Meetings, encounters and gatherings
• Corresponding, making calls and messaging
• Giving a presentation
• Making a sale
• Giving a speech
• Having our ideas well-received by associates, authority figures or clients
• Voicing new, uplifting ideas

At 11:23 am (2:23 ET), the charm comes on even stronger, when Moon joins the goddess planet herself. The communications roll continues, particularly for personal relationships or groups.

Affirmation:
I give thanks for my words of power, and use them with wisdom and love, now and always.

Tuesday, July 22

A day for innovation, creative work, romance, magical connections and breakthroughs.

Today’s Master number 22 unleashes a wave of cosmic electricity, activating connections with light beings and vastly expanding the reach of our service-centered initiatives. Number 22 is ruled by Uranus, who takes a sextile from Sun today, activating our will to innovate, experiment, and open new paths.

Moon is VOC until 5:26 am (8:26 ET), when she enters tender Cancer. With Sun also in Cancer, we have an hour that’s great for family connections, comforting someone, and visualizing,

At 6:29 am (9:29 ET), Sun enters radiant Leo, initiating his month in the confident, warm sign of his rule.

Today’s aspects are creative and intense. They include a square from delicious Venus to hot Mars that gets the birds chirpin’, the bees buzzin’ and people swoonin’. Go on a date, renew a flame, break out the pheromones. Beyond romance, this square brings charm and charisma to all kinds of connections, for socializing, business, and work. And if we prefer independent activities, it’s great for creative endeavors.

Work and creativity are supported by Moon in Cancer with her early squares to disciplined Saturn and exotic Neptune. Imagination is stimulated, although there may be some emotional confusion. Save new agreements or contracts for another day, and avoid ego struggles or confusing situations. But do make connections and headway on things requiring inspiration.

Late this evening, Moon joins expansive Jupiter, supporting progress in real estate, family, and home concerns, and emotional or intuitive endeavors.

Affirmation:
The only real goings-on are divine goings-on, and divine goings-on fill my body, my life and the world now.

Wednesday, July 23

A day to follow our intuition and try something different. People connections can be fun, sexy, and productive.

On the doorstep of tomorrow’s New Moon, Venus perfects her square to Mars in the wee hours. We can fan the spark of romance, have an exciting date, or infuse connections to clients, dear ones, or our public with charm.

Moon in perceptive Cancer combines with today’s numerology of 5, ruled by restless Mars. Luna then sextiles the red planet at 5:42 pm (8:42 ET). Although this Moon placement is sensitive, the positive Mars connection gives us drive to apply Cancer’s fertile energy by listening to our intuition and acting on its promptings in new directions.

Cancer has great imagination, and on the portal of tomorrow’s New Moon, it will be beneficial to remember to visualize the results we want before taking action.

Affirmation:
I give thanks for the power to good outcomes for myself, for others and for all humanity now!

Thursday, July 24

A dynamic morning gives power to our actions. We can recover dreams, hope, success and democracy.

Sun and Moon trine Saturn and Neptune, whose slowly building conjunction can be seen in the ongoing dissolution of previously secure structures. In sextile to Uranus, Moon can open doors of communication, connect us with new options and groups. With Uranus in mental Gemini, opportunities arise to share innovative ideas.

These aspects are in the chart for today’s New Moon in Leo, which is exact at 12:11 pm (3:11 ET), as is Moon’s opposition to tough Pluto, exact at 1:00 pm (4:00 ET), and Sun’s, at 11:33 pm (2:33 am ET).

With these major contacts to outer planets, today’s lunation carries strong potential for rebuilding and retrieving the security, dreams, compassion, and civil protections that seemed to have been lost.

The oppositions to Pluto indicate continuing clashes between autocratic and evolutionary forces, and perspective on the importance of heart energy. Retrieving our personal and collective power will not be easy, although angelic protection is shown in today’s numerology of 6—ruled by Jupiter. And the reiterated harmonies to the Saturn-Neptune duo, show long-term promise as we persist in the positive directions that we intend and act on at this lunation.

The Sabian symbol for this lunation at 2-3 Leo happens to resonate with the Moon-Uranus sextile:

A MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN, IN HER LONG HAIR FLOWING OVER HER SHOULDERS AND IN A BRA-LESS YOUTHFUL GARMENT… While the original reading of the symbol over fifty years ago spoke of the mature woman having dared to bob her hair, today a similar kind of rebellion against aging and the customs of late middle age would manifest itself in different ways. The meaning of the symbol can be extended to any desire an individual woman would have to claim her right to experiences of youth which may have been denied to her, especially when according to the fashion of the day such experiences are considered highly valuable… This… symbol implies a reorientation of one’s ideal of action in relation to the collective mentality of the social environment; more particularly, a refusal by the individualized consciousness to be bound by biological or social standards… Keyword: INDEPENDENCE.

Intentions for the New Moon in Leo can relate to creativity, shining our light, expanding heart wellness and energy, romance, fun, and one’s offspring and legacy. Sample intentions include:

I see myself surrounded by spirit guides who hold me in my light, on my divinely designated path, and moving in the highest and best direction, under a shield of angelic protection, here and now.

I see myself coming from my heart of kindness, without attachment to the approval of others.

I see myself enjoying others shine their light successfully.

I see myself enjoying my creative vocation with success and ease.

Guardian Angel, please protect me from self-sabotage and hold me in humility while I shine my light, now and always

We can support our intentions from yesterday’s New Moon by gathering information, focusing on self-expression, and engaging in intentional communications.

Moon in Leo boosts vitality and inspiration. Today’s numerology of 7 spotlights mental activities. We can connect with others who are close to our hearts and ideals, develop something related to information, mental creativity and communication, or make a program for spiritual and political survival.

Communications go even better this evening, as Moon conjoins Mercury at 7:58 pm (10:58 ET).

Saturday, July 26

We get time for rest, play and decluttering or solving things, with an excellent—though short—window for practical action.

Moon in Leo goes VOC at 4:02 am (7:02 ET). Still on the energizing portal of the New Moon, she enters Virgo at 1:55 pm (4:55 ET), giving us a special hour and a half to make practical progress on something meaningful. Today’s numerology of 8 supports tangible progress and consolidated results from our previous efforts.

At 3:20 pm (6:20 ET), things get a bit confrontational as Moon squares rebel Uranus, followed by tense aspects to heavies Saturn, Neptune and Pluto. These intense influences favor careful activism or concentration on spiritual work and/or journaling to transmute limiting beliefs.

Affirmation:
I am part of the evolutionary forces of the universe, which move me to wield my power, here and now.

Sunday, July 27

We can make headway by focusing on the task at hand, and on promoting our work, service or an altruistic or spiritual cause.

Moon in diligent Virgo helps us get organized and make headway through concentrated efforts.

At 9:58 am (12:58 pm) this useful Moon sextiles expansive Jupiter in fertile Cancer. It’s a great combination of down-to-earth effort with vision, magnanimity and growth potential. Centered in our desire to serve, we can promote connections, a cause, empathy, altruism, spiritual healing, or our work. We can earn even earn the support of the public or an investor.

Affirmation:
I invite the Christ Mind to serve and prosper through me, here and now.

Monday, July 28

Our way opens as we act on a project for work, healing or service.

Today’s go-getter numerology of 1 imbues Moon in diligent Virgo with initiative that helps compensate the insecure feelings of this lunar placement. At 11:43 am (2:43 pm) this energy is reaffirmed as Moon conjoins Mars. This conjunction and the numerology of 1 boost confidence, emboldening us to promote our work and defend a cause or those we wish to serve.

Moon goes VOC at 5:57 (8:57 pm), on a square to Venus. We can enjoy straightening our space, spiritual practice, healing music, a guided meditation or relaxing in nature.

At 10:43 pm (1:43 am ET), happy connections flow as Moon enters Libra.

Affirmation:
I am an expression of the divine, and I am confident, helpful and victorious, here and now.

Tuesday, July 29

We can apply our relational intelligence in empowering ways.

Moon in sweet Libra combines with today’s angelic numerology of 11 to accent energies and interactions of love. In the wee hours she makes aspects to Uranus, Saturn, Neptune, picking up their transpersonal energy before making a trine to alchemist Pluto at 3:35 am (6:35 ET).

In Libra, Moon is naturally charming. The early-morning transits trigger her feisty side. The trine to Pluto especially reaffirms our determination and strength to stand up for our values, for art or for beautification.

Later in the day, Moon sextiles Sun and loquacious Mercury. Communications go well, especially as we apply our charm firmly in:

• Renegotiating a contract, commitment or deal.
• Efforts involving justice.
• A court appearance.
• Defense of women’s concerns, of nature or of an art project.
• Teamwork.
• Promoting something that creates warmth, beauty, prosperity or harmony.
• Decluttering with an eye to beauty.
• Renewing our space to suit our taste.

At 8:59 pm (11:59 ET), Moon begins a long VOC. Save further action for Thursday (check below for exact times). We can enjoy the beauty of our home or of art books, make mandalas, or enjoy easygoing, uplifting company.

Affirmation:
I call on Demeter, on Neice and on Athena to awaken my charm that I may apply it with strategy and victory, here and now.

Wednesday, July 30

Enjoy friends, music, hanging out with your honey.

With Moon VOC all day, we can take a break, save productive actions for tomorrow. The whole day is highly Venusian, with Moon in Libra, today’s harmonious numerology of 3, and the goddess planet making a sign-change that activates the critical degree of zero Cancer. We may flow with this energy by going on adventure to a beautiful place, soaking in art or opulent surroundings, seeing friends, going to a concert, and/or holding hands with our honey.

If we feel lonely, we can reach out to a tree or to someone who needs an encouraging word or two.

Affirmation:
The angels of love surround us and fill our world with their pink light, transmuting divisiveness as they connect us in harmony, here and now.

Thursday, July 31

We can sleep in, start the day with a long bath or shower, then focus on constructive connections followed by independent activities.

Key actions and connections are best if made after 10:25 am (1:25 pm ET), when Moon leaves her long VOC and enters deep Scorpio. Today’s practical numerology of 4 helps us ground Luna’s potential for bold action. It’s a day to reconnect with our need for positive change and organize to act on it.

Through early afternoon, the aspects emphasize the relational side of this lunar placement. Sun joins Mercury the messenger, and at 11:52 am (2:52 ET), Moon trines sweet Venus. We can face and talk about deep emotions, work on change, a major deal or put energy into long-term goals. We can schedule follow up for a previous surgical intervention, solve a problem, or discuss terms of a partnership.

At 3:20 pm, emotions get intense, as Moon squares ruler Pluto. This can be a brooding or confrontative aspect, best used for independent activities, like decluttering, research, prayer and spiritual healing, making a discreet enquiry.

After the Pluto square, avoid jealousy, obsession, being secretive or suspicious, or brooding over an offense that wasn’t intended personally.

Affirmation:
Infinite good is present and working in all processes, making all changes beneficial for me and for others, here and now.
